Translation:Music

CH.16 ) Songs and music of the Ynga and the rest of the men of this kingdom and the yndios named haravi(song of love) and uanca(song), pingollo(flute), quena quena(Indian dance) in the general language of quichiua, aymara. Says this:

"Song of love, is it unfortunate,queen, that separates us? Is it because you my little blue flower, my sour flower? In my head, in the center of my heart I will take you everywhere. Like a water mirror you are an illusion. Like water mirror you are a lie. Who are you? Will I rest with my love? It is your untruthful mother that separates us from death and it is your father that is the enemy that causes us poorness. Maybe, Queen, thats how God made it, Oh mighty man. We will both meet and that God will unite us! When I remember your happy eyes, I loose all senses. When I remember those flirting eyes, I get sick. It's the truth, Inka, It's the truth, sir! Of that committee who induces crying, do you come with your flower heart? Crying for rivers and towns Encima de Kantur, in the pass of Saphi I wait for you. My love Siqulla."

I choose this specific song because it sounds like a tragic love story and i always enjoy a love story. I understood it like a low class man and a high class person trying to be together but it is bad in society and their parents separating them .

The Things They Carried

In The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien the chapter of “Sweetheartof the Song Tra Bong, “it tells about a young woman named Mary Anne. She goesinto the battlegrounds with Mark Fossie as a type of nurse to heal the injuredsoldiers. Maybe too young just coming out of high school but they accepted herto see those awful things with no experience. In the beginning of this chapterit describes Mary Anne as the perfect “woman” to the soldier’s eyes. She hasthe nice body, perky attitude and curiosity of a five year old. That to themwas the perfect girl that anyone could have. What they didn’t realize was thatshe wasn’t a fully grown woman she was just a young girl exploring not knowingeverything that surrounds her.

The servicemen at this point do not know what they really want. They are out in nowhere with all men and as soon as they see a woman that is quite interesting they think that she is perfect. In reality, she is bearly learning just like them. She is a little cub trying to be a big bear. Since they are stuck in a place where they don't even know they don't see the outside world and what the world can offer them beyond of high school and what they were doing before. After all, they came in after high school just like Mary Anne. Mary Anne is seen as a woman in this chapter but she only conveys one type of person that is barely finding herself.

What describes a real woman is someone who has faced many obstacles in life and has obtained life lessons from those exact things. They come up from the bad things being stronger then ever. Obstacles like schooling and hard decisions. Mary Anne in a way is a controversy of that ideal. She just gives a pretty face and says please a few times and she gets what she wants from anyone in the group. The satisfaction of working for what you want and the idea that you know that you worked hard has never gone through her because she is spoiled there. This just makes people think that they are people who just don't work hard.

Another ideal that Mary Anne portrays is that woman are always perky and social. A woman has her own personality and some might be different then each other. Some woman might be quiet and a thinker instead of those who speak their minds and explore everything they see. Like any other person they differ from other in a group. They might find someone similar but never someone who is exactly the same as the other person.

Vietnam Experience

Name of the photo: 1067

Describe what this photograph depicts.

    This photo shows a soldier named Frank Eates holding James A. Doughty’s hand in his last moments alive. Frank unfortunately died moments after but fought one of the hardest and aggressive battles between the Americans and North Vietnamese.

What does this photograph demonstrates about what life was like during the Vietnam War?

    This photo demonstrates that during the Vietnam War people who they have know to be family and learned to protect are dying all around them and some even disappearing. They remain hopeful and are with them until their last breath. I see in this picture that no one dies alone someone is always there. I also see a lot of brotherly love between the two soldiers by them having each other’s hand and feeling each other’s suffering and pain.

If your photo has people in it, give one of them a name and make up background information about them. If it’s just a landscape, make up a history about the place.
    James A. Doughty, 20, a striving, brave and risk taking young boy died in the battle against the Vietnamese. With his life ahead of him after just finishing high school two years ago and a student to become a police man, all crashed down. He fought for his dear country every single second that he was on that battleground. Doughty left with the courageous memory of fighting one of the most violent and powerful battle fought during this war. Leaving behind his whole entire life and family to grieve for his death they lost all their hopes lost that one day they would ever see his face light up from joy again. On the other hand, they are happy at knowing that to them he is a hero to the beloved nation of The United States of America.

What will “stick with you” about this photo?
    The main things that will stick with me about this photograph is the sense of pain that it gave me to this but also the joy. To see that no men are left alone in the moment that they most need their fellow battle partners with them is something that in those moments nothing that can be compared to. There, the person has all the love, companionship and loyalty in front of their eyes and they will leave with the loving memory of their troops.

Racial Profiling

Racial profiling has become a very big issue especially after the case on 9/11. It is not only an issue for african americans and hispanics but also muslims, arabs and any other race that is concidered dangerous. For examplem in the article "Police-Stop Data Shows Pockets Where Force Is Used More Often" by Ray Rivera featred in the New York Times talks about how in Bronx, New York police enforcement have unreasonably tackled and used force against their citizens when they weren't even in any harm. Some people think its becasue they are fresh out of the police academy and are scared of getting hurt on the job. A simple task as of asking for their identification can go out of hand. The police enforcement is not supposed to lead more racial profiling but try to stop it by keeping their residents safe and this, is not a way to do it.
Also in the article "Racial Profiling of Muslims Is Justified to Prevent Terrorism" by Michelle Malkin featrured in the magizine of USA Today talks about how Muslims are suffering by racial profiling in this country. It states that if they were alowed to racially profile Muslims and Arabs in the time of September 11, 2001 then the twin towers could have still been standing and innocent people would still been alive. They know that feelings would be hurt and there would be dilemas over this choice but certain people think its the best choice for national security. Yet, many people would be charged or seen as dangeroyus without even doing anything wrong and that live peacefully on Americal soil. Also in the articvle of "Ethnic and Religious Profiling Is Necessary" by Carl F. Horowitz it also supprts the action of racial profiling. He thinks that this can stop terrorism from happeneing withing our country but in reality it is hurting our country more by giving a reason more for hatred.

Senior Update #3

For my senior project I have done a lot of research concerning the animal testing and animal cruelty. I have also found out the maximum and minimum sentences for those who neglect or abuse an animal. People have done really hateful things to animals such as cut them in pieces alive, starved them, and even let them live in their own feces and urine. I am going to connect this with my paper by giving examples of different cases in the past and the present cases. Even the cases in animal testing can relate to my paper or the actual project.

For my reading in this class I read a book which is related to my senior project and that is the movement towards the animal movement. This book will help me on my research paper because that’s the topic it is on and I have done some research for it. Also I can refer back to my book and include it in my works cited. My paper is going to be related to the animal rights movement so it is perfect for it.

I have not yet done my community hours but I plan to do them over winter break since I have enough time during the day to actually go do work instead of being at my house and getting lazy. I have been informed that the only thing that they do in volunteer hours is walk dogs so I might just do half my hours at the shelter and then the other half I want to go somewhere where I can actually work with the animals and make life a little easier for them.

For my visual I want to create my own SPCA so I have to create a set of rules and organization techniques for it and I want to make a actual SPCA out of wood to give an impression of how it’s going to look. I am planning on putting many different types of animals but mostly house pets and farm animals so the outside can be animals such as horses and the inside can be cats, dogs and such.

For The Love Of Animals <3

In my book For The Love of Animals: The Rise To The Animal Protection Movement is about how the movement to animals treatment in England started. They used to beat and use the animals for brutal entertainment like killings and matches. It focuses on many many research and cases on which how animals used to be treated. Like for example in one case they used to teach elephants how to dance by putting hot irons underneath their feet .so it could look like they were doing a type tap dance on the floor. Things like this influences the people of England to not care about the animals and use the same tactics as the people abusing their animals. Abusing and neglect was a everyday thing for the poor animals.

One case that was in 1739 that a french inventor designed a machine duck that dis everything that a duck could do except for conceiving more ducks. Soon the people where confused on the real ducks and the machine ducks. They called them beast machines die to the confusion if they were just a piece of machinery or a monster made out of skin and blood. People believed that they did not have a soul, wisdom, life or reason.

Soon after a Renaissance writer name Michel de Montaigne write about the relationship and closeness that animals have to humans. The duchess did not agree with his opinion and denied everything that he said but Montaigne argued that a simple time playing with his cat he saw how it interacted and knew that he was playing around. He observed many animals around him and saw how they showed different types of emotions. One of his observations stated that dogs and parrots could be trained to act like humans the most . They used body language to communicate their emotions and passions and they were made out of the same cells that we are.

Senior Project #2

For my senior project so far I have completed my interview but I have not gotten able to get my contract sign due to my mentor not having time to sign it. I should have had it the day I was supposed to turn it in but unfortunately I forgot to tell my mentor about the contract. This week hopefully he will be able to meet with me so we can get that done and turn it into Mr. Gilbert. Other then the mentor contract I am on track with my schedule for my project.

This week I will be going into the pet shelter so I can sign up to volunteer and hopefully be able to work with the animals instead of just walking them for an hour or two. I want to be able to care for the animals like give them activities and also have human contact even if they are in the shelter. Another place I want to help to volunteer would be at Petco where I help the animals find a home for them so they can live a better home for them instead of living in a cage or box.

 I have also started on my research paper by looking up information about my subject and my mentor has given me a more of an insight of animal treatments and how they are seen by the law. I am also going to make an appointment with my mentor to learn about the body language of K9’s and how to properly react to them. On that stand I can compare and contrast humans with animals at this point. Hopefully during this week or next week I intend to go to the public library and search books on the animal protective movement and how it advanced during the centuries.

Something that I would like to do on my own for my project will be to have my friends and family to donate food to animal shelters. For this we can have people donate coupons for stores and go out and get them or just a simple donate at a store when people shop. Another idea I have would be to have the experience with not just household pets but also exotic animals and out of the ordinary. For example her in Napa they rescue birds or deer and with that I can have a view point of different reactions to their lifestyle.
